Some Photographic Studies of Optical Masers

Three methods for recording properties of optical maser emissions are discussed. First, a series of 400,000-picture/sec records were made of the maser emission. Second, the polarization of a ruby optical maser was recorded with a unique high-speed photographic technique. Third, the coherence of maser emission was examined with a wavefront shearing interferometer and recorded with a conventional 35mm camera. These techniques and some initial observations that were made of maser emissions are described.
